A trusted advisor for complex tax and estate planning

After a significant inheritance, my family needed sophisticated guidance to navigate the resulting tax implications and integrate the assets into our existing estate plan. We turned to Sam Hurwitz at Brenner, Saltzman & Wallman, and his 42 years of experience were immediately evident. His deep knowledge of tax law, honed at Stanford and recognized by his multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' awards, provided us with immense confidence. He didn't just offer textbook solutions; he took the time to understand our family's specific dynamics and long-term goals, crafting a personalized strategy that was both robust and comprehensible. His advice was practical, strategic, and clearly came from a place of profound expertise. While his billing is commensurate with his top-tier reputation and the complexity of the work, the value was clear. Communication was generally excellent, though there were a couple of instances where follow-up on minor questions took a day longer than expected. Overall, Sam is a consummate professional. We feel our financial legacy is in exceptionally capable hands.
